Notification Preferences

Notification Channels

APVISO supports multiple notification channels. You can enable or disable each independently and configure which events trigger notifications on each channel.

Email Notifications

Email is enabled by default for all accounts. Notifications are sent to the email address associated with your APVISO account.

Slack Webhook

Connect a Slack incoming webhook to receive notifications in a Slack channel. This is separate from the full Slack integration — it is a lightweight option that does not require OAuth.

1. Create an incoming webhook in your Slack workspace.
2. Paste the webhook URL in Settings → Notifications → Slack Webhook.
3. Click Save.

Webhook Notifications

Route notifications to any HTTPS endpoint. This uses the same webhook format described in the Webhook Integration article but is scoped to your personal notification preferences rather than organization-wide events.

In-App Notifications

Notifications appear as a bell icon badge in the dashboard header. Click the bell to see recent notifications. In-app notifications are always enabled and cannot be disabled.

Configurable Events

You can choose which events generate notifications on each channel:

• Scan completed — a scan has finished (includes finding summary).
• Scan failed — a scan encountered an error.
• Critical finding discovered — a critical-severity vulnerability was found during a scan.
• High finding discovered — a high-severity vulnerability was found.
• Retest completed — a retest has finished with results.
• Scheduled scan skipped — a scheduled scan was skipped due to insufficient credits.
• Credit balance low — your credits have dropped below 20% of your allocation.
• Subscription renewal — your subscription renewed successfully.
• Payment failed — a payment could not be processed.

Configuring Preferences

1. Go to Settings → Notifications.
2. For each notification channel, toggle the events you want to receive.
3. Click Save Preferences.

Changes take effect immediately.

Testing Notifications

Each channel has a Send Test button that delivers a sample notification so you can verify the channel is working correctly.

Quiet Hours

Optionally configure quiet hours to suppress non-critical notifications during specific time windows (e.g., nights and weekends). Critical and high-severity finding notifications are always delivered regardless of quiet hours.

1. Toggle Enable Quiet Hours in notification settings.
2. Set the start and end time (in your local timezone).
3. Select which days quiet hours apply.

Team Notifications

On Business and Enterprise tiers, team administrators can configure organization-wide notification policies that apply to all team members. Individual members can add additional notifications but cannot disable organization-level ones.
